Smart Solar MPPT 150/100 and Schneider XW+ 5548 - not playing well together

Greetings,

We have a customer who has a Victron Smart MPPT 150/100 - Tr. He's using it with a Schneider XW+ 5548. Does anyone know of any incompatibilities between the 150/100 and the 5548, in particular anything that would prevent the 5548 from selling to the grid?

We're combing through settings looking for something, anything, and it is a bit of a head scratcher.

Thank you, in advance, for any insights you might be able to provide.

Sincerely,

Marlin D. May, Technical Support Specialist

Hey @Marlin May, I’m sorry to see this never got answered; but thats probably the answer in it self: no one familiar with such issues.

I also wouldnt know what the issue should or could be I’m afraid. I dont know how those XWs arrange their selling of excess PV to the grid. I do know that that needs quite a specific combination; at least for us it does: also we don’t actively support other type solar chargers to be used in combination with our inverter/chargers when it comes to selling back to the grid.

Hello @mvader (Victron Energy Staff),
Yes, it has been a while but thank you for your reply.
Perhaps as the SunSpec comm protocol is rolled out, questions like this will become easier to answer.
